It's a fact - a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables is your best bet for good health. But it can be hard to get the recommended portions every day. Life is busy and let's face it, not everyone loves the taste! However, there's an easy tasty way to ensure you and your loved ones enjoy the goodness of fruits and vegetables: Juicing at home.
Raw benefits:
Not everyone is willing to eat mountains of fresh produce, and research shows that vitamin supplements, although helpful, are no real substitute. But what could be easier or more enjoyable than simply sipping a glass of delicious fresh juice? Juice made from raw fruit and vegetables retains all their valuable vitamins and minerals, which can get lost in cooking. And because fresh juices have high water content, these nutrients are easier for the body to absorb.
Fruit and vegetable juices are particularly good sources of antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and carotenoids, which mop up the excess free radicals that contribute to wrinkles, aging and a number of age-related diseases. They contain active enzymes that allow juice to be digested quickly and converted it into energy.
Fresh is Best:
What's important is that your juice is really fresh. If juice isn't consumed soon after it comes out of the fruit or vegetable, certain valuable vitamin levels begin to drop and enzymes still active during pressing, deteriorate quickly. Having your own juicer at home means you can juice whenever your want, and drink the juice before it loses any of its natural goodness. Another benefit of juicing at home is that you can be sure your juice is free of additives or preservatives, and you don't have to worry about all the added sugars that make some juices so high in calories. Fresh juice tastes best and is most nutritious when it's poured right from your juicer.
Say bye bye, to boring juices:
Once you have the right appliance, you can really unleash your creativity. Try using fruits and vegetables you've never juiced before: parsnip, spinach or pineapple, for instance. The key to success is to try just a Small amount at first, mixed with ingredients you already know and love. Try combining fruits and vegetables; which gives a wider nutritional base to your drinks. You'll be surprised how oranges and beetroot complement each other, or how well celery goes with grapes. The next step is to add some spices and herbs as they taste great and have health-giving properties. Try ginger root, chilli ro raddish for a fresh and zingy taste; cinnamon or cardamom to provide warmth and depth. Yum!!!
